The length of the deal will be interesting. I can’t see it being more than a year but if it is 2 or 3 years than I’d hold those same fears. Hopefully Peet will do the business though. I’ll throw my (vast) weight behind him anyway and back him because he at least deserves us to do that. This seasons been a nightmare and boring beyond belief but the good parts have been without the ball, so there’s no reason to doubt he can do the job he’s given on that basis.

I wish the guy well.

It would be an interesting one, I don't see Wigan as a team that lacks effort/discipline necessarily so it would be more about the coaches around him than him.

thats why I wont buy a season ticket, I can just stop going if its a car crash and I know thats how the season will be and maybe longer under IL

He was after the Wakefield job, I’m guessing he will end up at Salford.

Paul Rowley nailed on for the Salford job apparently but if they used their heads and appointed Brian Mac they’ll be far better off

Fully agree. I understand where some are coming from but ultimately Lam has gone and a new guy, whether he’s from the club or not, is coming in with new ideas and a new system. Proof of that is Wane after Mags with both styles and approach being vastly different.

We should all throw our full support behind Peet and his team. If it goes wrong, it goes wrong and he wouldn’t have been my choice - I’ve been quite clear in that I feel we needed a coaching clear out - but he doesn’t deserve to be starting off with fans against him.

Don 't make excuses. You're part of the problem.

well I would be as I was one and a wigan tv subscriber, lotto and merchandise buyer so I was fuelling this garbage you are correct

It's one thing having the self belief to think you can coach a team but the reality is you need experience. As we found out with Lam, who was learning on the job, the head coaches job at Wigan deserves someone witha bit of experience, it isn't London Broncos cosch where coaches go to learn their trade, Wigan is the pinacle not the training ground. If Peet harbours ambition to become Wigan coach then he needs to go and earn his stripes down at London Broncos and not give it to someone who did well at Westhoughton Lions with all due respect.

We need someone who suits our club and players, we need them to have experience coaching in the top flight at club level and a winner or someone with a better squad could become that winner.

Off the top of my head you are looking at Ian Watson, Daryl Powell, maybe Tony Smith, Steve McNamara (stop giggling at the back), Michael McGuire. Shane Flannagan and bring Kyle with him,

Ideal world money no object it would be Craig Bellamy but we know that would never happen. We need to appoint a coach to suit our team and not just a good coach who is available, we have a lot of good young players who need bringing on and we need to improve the rugby on show, for that reason Wane is out, I seriously used to think Steve McNamara was ths worst coach going but I think he would do well at Wigan now.

Like Wane did? Or Madge? Or Graeme West?

Check mate.

Add in Holbrook too. Oh and that guy called Bellamy (ironically that he wants) who went from an assistant to head coach too.

If you had read my posting proper, I was not on about what happen after the gang of four took over, but the poor state of the club during the seventies, where finance, signings and success on the field was concerned which led to the club altering the way it was run ie. a board of ten directors replaced by just four which is still the case today.

A current situation which today, is now similar to that of what happen at the end of the seventies both in finance and the playing side of the club where the quality of the squad and coaching staff is concerned.

As far as I am concerned, the time has come for new ownership with more and better investment, and a complete overhaul of the club, especially with the age of of the present owner who now appears to be less involved in the running of the club than what he use to be a while ago.
